That's right people. Duty calls. We need to googlebomb the Delhi article on Wikipedia!

While I think the situation is amusing, my call is serious. I've never started or participated in a googlebomb before, but I think this one's important.

Note about googlebombing: google recently changed their algorithm so make googlebombs less effective. But this only affects bombs where the target has nothing to do with the search term, such as Bush and "miserable failure" (at least lexically :-) Clearly, the target here is relevant, and according to google's official announcement, "this new algorithm is very limited in scope and impact."

A googlebomb influences the ranking of a page by linking to it with a specific term. Most famously, people made "miserable failure" turn up Bush's page as the first search result.

To contribute to the googlebomb, all you have to do is make a blog post linking to the wikipedia page on Delhi and either link to this post so that people will now why we're doing it or explain it yourself.

Re: Am I missing something?

I remember hearing that google search results depend on where you are. There was a while ago some news about certain pages on democracy issues or so not showing up when searched for from China. Of course my memory is all vague.

Re: Am I missing something?

But in fact results for all terms fluctuate a little bit, because google has a gazillion servers all over the globe and they randomly redirect you to one of them and it's not possible to keep them all in sync all the time.

Plus they sometimes deploy an update to the algorithms on some servers to test them before a full rollout.
